No key pressed

I don't see a way to check if no key is pressed. Is there a way to set up a rule: "if no key is pressed then whatever"?
If I use "if key x is up then whatever" then key x has to be pressed first before registering as being up. I can work around it but this would be a useful feature (unless I'm just not seeing it).

    Well, I was really excited about the finite state machine I built for player states and animations, but I was gone for several days and now that I'm looking at it again I'm afraid I'm going to have to completely redo it because I'm beginning to run into problems with it. As part of this FSM I had an idle state for the player when the player is barely moving, on the ground, and the direction keys are up. This works but only if all keys are pressed at least once. After that they register as being up.

    I think I'm just going to have to flowchart the whole thing and figure out exactly how I'm going to do this. If anyone has good ideas on creating/mapping out a FSM I'm all ears... er... eyes.

    On a plus note, my player character just killed her first bad guy! Yay! :P

    You can put in your rules:

    Rule: If key ??? is down
    --Change Attribute: game.aKeyIsDown = true
    Otherwise:
    --Change Attribute: game.aKeyIsDown = false
